I did it, I did it. CANINE GOOD CITIZEN

My pop kept taking me to this place with some other dog pals and we all would walk in circles, pop called it heeling, when that was done I would get some treats and pop would tell me good boy for just walking in circles. Then I would sit , get a treat, lay done, get a treat. Pop would say this stay thing so I just sit there with all my dog pals. pop got upset when I went to sniff butts and I didn't get a treat. So I just did what I was supposed to do, made pop happy and the treats rolled in.
Then the other night pop took me to this place and there were uprights that I never seen before, I sure was nervous and so was pop
so once again we did the heeling thing, then the stay thing, uprights were walking all over the place making noise, I sure was nervous bout that I almost peed. Then I had to sit stay again and pop said come, not sure of what to do I very very slowly started walking towards pop, when I reached him he seemed very excited and kept saying good boy Skipper, good boy. When we left that area uprights were petting me and telling me and pop that I was a CANINE GOOD CITIZEN. not sure what that means but sure made pop happy.
When we got back home pop grilled me a very rare steak, wow
I slept good that night

Pop took me for another ride in the car today. Seems like we just got going and then we stopped in this big area with other cars and got out. I knew in a moment that this was something good. People and other dogs were going into this big barn looking place, I could smell the food and treats before we even got in the door.
Woof!! what a place, nothing but toys, treats, food and a lot of other dogs. I was so excited I couldn't get traction, my feet was slipping on the floor even though I was going as fast as I could. Treats wait for no one.
I pulled a couple cool toys off the bottom shelves and pop took the away from me and carried them for me.
I marked a couple isles with my scent, I figured in a couple hours this place would be all mine but pop cleaned it up, drats foiled again.
Pop signed me up for Puppy School,said I would have a great time and make some friends.
That night visions of Petsmart danced through my head as I snuggled up with my newer toys.

going to work

The past couple of days, Pop, dad, has been taking me outside seems like every couple hours and lets me do what comes natural. Pop gets all excited when I take a simple poop and pets me, treats me, go figure.
We got in the car today, pop said we were going to his workplace, no idea what that meant. Well anyhow when we got to pop's workplace there was all these humans, pop said about 600 of them, wow who knew.
Ill betcha at least half of them came up to me and was petting me, rubbing my tummy, stroking my ears telling me what a cute puppy I was. It was awesome to make so many friends at one time and hey they all knew my name. bout wore me out trying to keep up. When I got back home I slept like a puppy.
